It was more like 10. Just go with closers and off-the-pace types for the most part on the main track. Lone speed can still pull it off but if they get stuck along the rail in the stretch they seem to die. You seem to want something like the 5-7 path in the stretch. All the best moves seem to be coming from there. The turf has been killer for me. It started off being impossible for front runners to win turf races, but now that seems to be shifting. The good news is that straight win wagers have been profitable. The bad news is how hard it is to hit them. You know it's been tough to handicap when you get record carryovers. Last Saturday was just absolutely ridiculous. It was like the longest shots in the field won every time. Man, I goofed on the whole 20 lengths back thing. It was more like 10.

Just too many horses most of the time. Too many wide open races at Del Mar these last couple weeks. Just too many horses most of the time.
